Lumina

A large aquarium layout featuring Lumina, 648 L (171.2 gal.), Aquatic Garden style, by Dama Refiyuda. The composition is built around santigi woods.

Hardscape (santigi woods) forms the skeleton — negative space between wood and stone guides the eye from foreground to depth. About 17 plant species are listed — fine for a multi-layer look, but keep a care log so slower species are not shaded out. Ada soil, cosmetic sand substrate helps stabilize root-zone nutrition in the early weeks.

ADA solar WRGB lighting sits at a high technical level for this large aquarium. CO₂ (5 bps 24hours) — see our CO₂ systems if you want to clone a similar setup. EHEIM CANISTER filtration needs enough turnovers without blasting the hardscape; browse matching filters. High-tech balance means nutrients, light, and CO₂ must stay in step; one weak leg often triggers spot or hair algae.
